    Most things you see a real professional doing.

    Just look at the ease a window washer cleans a window stripless and fast, or a bricklayer just gets stones on the same height with 2 small taps on the brick consistently. Many more examples like that…

    Years of experience and muscle memory make it look easy… but it isnt.

      And humans want to replace some of this shit with robots.

      Window washer working on sky scrappers? Sure, I guess it is a job that can be done by robots.

      Bricklayer? Why the fuck???

        For one thing it is a tough, dirty, physically taxing job. If you can reduce the strain on humans and not wear them out as fast I’d call it a win…

          Sure, but I’d imagine that Joe the Bricklayer may have a slightly different reaction when you tell him the exciting news that he doesn’t have to lay bricks anymore because a robot can do it.

            But the thing is, we don’t have to replace Joe with a robot. The hard part about being a bricklayer is having to make cement, carry that cement in buckets, carry concrete blocks, amongst other things that I don’t even know (I watched my father in law working a few times). Why can’t we just replace the “heavy” part with robots?

            Let’s use robots to our advantage, but keep people doing jobs they actually like.
